For the last couple nights I have been awaken by horrible animal shrieks that I think are coming from raccoons. It’s the kind of noise that sets your hair on end and makes the dog goes berserk. I don’t know if a predator has moved into the neighborhood, a neighbor is being a jerk, or this is the spring sounds of love.

In other news my seedlings are growing like gangbusters. I have two more trays to start and then I will be done for the season. There was a lot more I wanted to add but at this point I really don’t know where I’ll end up planting half the seedlings I have. A 5′ x 5′ section of the new dry creek bed is going to be turned into a boulder fountain. We got the idea from the QCCA Flower & Garden Show to have a water feature that recycles the water over & over, rather than a pond. I would love to have a pond someday but I can’t see keeping curious paws out of it. This way we’ll have a nice sound of a fall without the pond to take care of.

Ok imagine sunken into the ground & without the sneeze shield. I’ll have more pictures from the show as soon as I have the time.
